Dates are an amazing powerhouse fruit! They’re free from cholesterol and contain very low fat. Dates are a rich source of dietary fiber, protein, and rich in vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, A1, and C! Not only these little fruits great for a natural energy boost, but also contain natural sugars – making them the perfect natural sweetener. Pop dates int your smoothies and homemade non-dairy milks for a healthy addition of glucose, fructose, and sucrose. They’re rich in potassium (ounce for ounce contain more potassium than bananas!). Dates also help improve the digestive system as they contain both soluble & insoluble fibers and various amino acids. Read up on their full benefits here!
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup dates, pitted
- 2 1/2 Cups water
Directions:
- Soak your dates for at least 1 hour (up to overnight).
- Blend until smooth and refrigerate.
-
Store in a container in your refrigerator for up to three weeks.
-
Enjoy eating whole!
Now you have nice fresh batch of date syrup! Not sure what to do with it?! Use it in place of honey or maple syrup in any recipe (including baking!) Sweeten any smoothies, homemade non-dairy milks, pancakes, waffles, and is delectable topped on my Cinnamon French Toast!
